About Us

Who We Are

Ab E Discovery was born from a game-changing discovery out of Professor Mark Cook’s lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, nurtured by entrepreneurial scientists who took its impact beyond the lab and into the marketplace. From our vantage point at the intersection of science and industry, we see the incredible value that innovations in animal agriculture offer beyond protein as food--as well as the need to support scientists in commercializing these ideas.

Ab E Discovery partners with entrepreneurial scientists to lead their technologies from discovery to impact. A full-service commercialization resource, Ab E Discovery focuses on bio-functional ingredient technologies and delivers the expertise, knowledge, and hands-on support needed to develop and manufacture industry-ready innovations. The Ab E Discovery team applies decades of industry and research experience to ensure technologies’ scientific and commercial success.
